We are in that bind right now, I personally feel that I need to get the fuck out of where we are living for several reasons, one being we desperately need outdoor space for the little man lol. Regardless though, I'm sure that we are going to pay a bit of a premium which sucks and is annoying but there are added benefits for the region we want to move that I am having to focus on instead of the added price tag of what the shit is at now. Sort of thankfully the rates have gone up which brings the housing cost down so we have thankfully waited for maybe the right time to do it compared to 6 months or 12 months ago. Still sucks that we were about to pull the trigger on a house in February 2021 before prices spiked but it fell through. Damn! lol
I keep an eye on the markets for sure but I'm trying not to focus on them. I'm more focused on building and expanding more than anything! I'm maximizing my bitcoin and other Hive related assets and not getting caught in the fluctuations and noise going on until I'm at a point I want to be. Where that point is I don't know specifically but I think I'll have a better inclination as time goes on lol
In the US, I get the sense that people are scared to let their kids play outdoors, unless it is their own property, is that the case? We do have a yard now, but when in an apartment, we had tiny playgrounds and forests around that the kids could play in safely.
We were lucky - we got our place signed the week before lockdowns started.
When it comes to building and expanding, if the ability to increase the finances is faster than the increase in the house prices, doesn't it make sense to keep building?
